 |
|
Update: This was an April Fools' Day joke.
Hello,
Thank you for visiting PhotoshopForums.com.
From the rapid growth of Twitter, it is clear that communication is changing. People no longer want to discuss things in detail and no longer have the patience or time to type more than 140 characters for each thought, problem or comment that they have.
In order to stay current with this trend in communication, PhotoshopForums.com needs to change, as well. Beginning on May 1, we will be limiting all posts and contributions to 140 characters. This should result quicker, more to the point posts and replies. You'll have to think carefully about the most important points that you have to make and try to cut them down to this new 140 character limit.
To aide in this, links will automatically be shortened to count for as few characters as possible. Links to images on outside services will count similarly, but images attached through the file attachment feature on PhotoshopForums.com will not count and will continue to appear beneath your text message. We will also be installing a character count on the quick reply and full post/reply boxes so that you know just how many characters that you have left.
If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to let me know in this thread or privately.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Patrick

Suggestion: Character counter could be convenient if possible. |

Perhaps making people use a hashtag could also be considered  Anything to prevent Auieos' incessant rambles  - oops broke the character count!

Hyperlinks can easily take up over half of the character count. |
